Want an exciting sex life? Here's what you need to do

It's not news that a happy soul leads to a happy you. When you're soul-happy, it shows in every aspect of your life, including love and sex. We've rounded up five habits that you should follow to nurture your soul and have an exciting sex life.

Get rid of things that drain your energy

Or people who drain your energy. Overthinking about things that you have no control over, toxic people, drama mamas, naysayers, and other things including people who make you feel exhausted and annoyed should be given up. Fill your life with calm and people who bring peace and joy. The less stress you have, the better your mind will be, and the more amazing the sex.

Exercise to be mind- and body-healthy

Regular exercise, even stretching, can help you stay healthy and relaxed. If you're not much of an exercise person, at least try to take a walk in the park every morning or evening to get some fresh air. Not only will your mind be rejuvenated, but your body will feel the difference too. And if the body is healthy, you're automatically going to be more dynamic and agile in bed.

Take a moment to breathe

How many of us forget to breathe slow and deep while going about our daily lives? I'm sure it's all of us. Even three minutes of conscious breathing will help your brain cells freshen up, and you can take the same technique to the bedroom too. Just gaze into your partner’s eyes and match your breathing with his. That is, in fact, a crucial aspect of tantric sex.

Set up healthy boundaries

You don't always have to be the shoulder your friend cries on every time something goes wrong in their life. Sometimes, you need to set up boundaries that let you make time and space for yourself. In the bedroom, too, set limits on what you want to do and what you don't. If something doesn't feel good, it's always better to let your partner know that you're not down with it. This will help you and your partner to have a more satisfied sex life.

Don't forget to play

Last but not least, work hard but play harder. You don't have to go to parties or go dancing to have fun. Why not just play a round of table tennis with a friend? Even a game of cards will help. Anything that lets you have some unadulterated fun should be incorporated in your life. And, the same can be said for your sex life too. How about you spice it up with some role-playing? You could even try out sex toys to make lovemaking a fun experience.
